The original One Sports channel was launched on January 9, 2019 on satellite provider Cignal, replacing Sports5-run Hyper. One Sports is the second MediaQuest channel launched under the One branding, along with the English-language news channel One News, Filipino-language news/talk channel One PH, and premium entertainment channel One Screen.[1] One Sports+ carries its sports-related programming 24 hours a day, year round.
On March 8, 2020, One Sports was relaunched as a free-to-air television channel, merging its programming with its counterpart 5 Plus, as TV5 Network's sports division adopted the same branding coinciding with the start of the 2020 PBA season. Meanwhile, the original satellite One Sports channel has been rebranded as One Sports+[lower-alpha 2], making them as the fourth One-branded channel.[2]
From March 30 to June 14, 2020, the terrestrial network temporarily suspended its broadcast due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the enforcement of the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon.[3]
As of January 1, 2021, the live stream of terrestrial network simulcasts One PH for unknown reason.
Programming
One Sports programming includes extreme sports, collegiate sports, e-sports, sports entertainment, and other sports-related content. The network may take on the responsibility of airing sports programs produced by One Sports division in the event that TV5 is unable to carry them due to breaking news or any special programming. A selection of One Sports sports coverage will be made available online through their official website and various social media platforms.
